What Causes Pain In The Heels For Few Minutes?

Hi Doctor, whenever i get up from bed and take my first few steps i got a pain on my heel, usually for about few minutes then it will go. This is the same whenever I get up after sitting for a long time. But i do walking everyday for about an hour and dont get this pain at all. i am 51 yrs old, 5 feet tall and weight 63 kgs so a little bit overweight so is this pain related to my weight?

Hello,

It may be due to plantar fascitis or achillis tendonitis or arthritis of ankle joint. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid walking on hard surface. Use slippers which having soft high heels. Physiotherapy may useful. Use tablet aceclofenac twice a day for five days.

If symptoms not improved please consult with your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
